Abstract
In this work the performance of backscatter gamma densitometer is studied using 60Co as gamma source. The ability of the densitometer to determine the liquid's interfaces in multi-phase flows was assessed. The aim mainly was to investigate the possibility of using 60Co in this system. Furthermore, a comparison between 60Co and was done. The obtained results indicate that 60Co can be advantageous in this regard.
Kurzfassung
In diesem Beitrag wird die Leistungsfähigkeit eines Gamma-Densitometers mit 60Co als Strahlenquelle untersucht. Die Fähigkeit des Densitometers, Flüssigkeitsgrenzflächen bei Multiphasenströmungen zu bestimmen, wurde bewertet. Hauptziel war die Untersuchung der Verwendung von 60Co als Strahlenquelle in diesem System. Des Weiteren wurde ein Vergleich zwischen 60Co und 137Cs durchgeführt. Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Verwendung von 60Co Vorteile haben kann.
